Crystal Boys - MAKING-OF
1
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:52,750
The director.
2
00:00:53,366 --> 00:00:58,366
I read the "Crystal Boys" novel
when I was in school.
3
00:00:58,366 --> 00:01:07,433
At that time, the plight of gay people
4
00:01:07,466 --> 00:01:11,233
gave me a big shock.
5
00:01:12,933 --> 00:01:17,500
But a couple of years ago, at
work I read it again.
6
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,700
I found other sides to it.
7
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:26,300
In this story, you'll find true friendship.
8
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:32,066
These days, this has been lost.
9
00:01:32,633 --> 00:01:35,766
Tender feelings between people
can't be found anymore.
10
00:01:35,766 --> 00:01:44,366
Whether these feelings sad or...
11
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,466
or the end makes you uncomfortable...
12
00:01:49,466 --> 00:01:54,266
There's a true friendship
between the characters in this novel.
13
00:01:54,266 --> 00:01:59,400
No matter how happy or sad,
14
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,800
you'll find true friendship.
15
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,100
That was a very important element.
16
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:14,033
The characters were so
authentic with each other.
17
00:02:14,033 --> 00:02:19,300
That was the biggest reason why I wanted
to do a film about this novel.
18
00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:28,533
Being a director of
more than 40 actors
19
00:02:28,533 --> 00:02:33,066
is nearly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
20
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:38,366
That novel provided me
a chance to shoot.
21
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,066
And I wanted to do nothing else
but finish it.
22
00:03:10,633 --> 00:03:18,400
In fact, I didn't want to focus on
the problems that gay people had.
23
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:26,600
There were many touching
parts in that TV Series,
24
00:03:26,660 --> 00:03:32,560
like the scene where Buddy was
looking for his mom,
25
00:03:32,596 --> 00:03:38,596
standing on a bench in the
theater and shouting "Mom!".
26
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,700
And also the story of
Dragon Prince and A-feng,
27
00:04:09,864 --> 00:04:12,530
when Dragon Prince killed A-feng.
28
00:04:12,531 --> 00:04:19,431
My mind was full of vivid images.
29
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:52,766
The scenes filmed in New York
were also a challenge.
30
00:04:52,768 --> 00:04:58,398
We faced the same difficulties
with the shooting.
31
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,999
We didn't have much time to shoot.
32
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:04,862
We only had three days, approximately.
33
00:05:04,910 --> 00:05:11,270
Two days to go to the United States to
view the scenery and then find the actors.
34
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:13,192
We started shooting
on the third day
35
00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:16,620
and had to finish it in two or three days.
36
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:19,820
That was quite a challenge.
37
00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:34,850
A 90 minutes movie usually
takes two months.
38
00:05:34,855 --> 00:05:41,227
Our series is like 10 movies
done in only six months.
39
00:05:41,329 --> 00:05:45,162
You can imagine the pressure that
we had in such limited time.
40
00:05:45,162 --> 00:05:46,929
A big challenge!
41
00:05:47,271 --> 00:05:56,996
And there were some special scenes,
such as a typhoon and a flood.
42
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,500
They all appeared in the novel, so we had
to make them appear in the series.
43
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:09,429
We worked hard to recreate the
atmosphere of each part of the novel.
44
00:06:09,638 --> 00:06:14,796
I think a director's work
is to solve difficulties,
45
00:06:14,829 --> 00:06:20,962
to find the best way to do things, then
make the best choices and decisions
46
00:06:20,962 --> 00:06:23,102
when they happen.
47
00:06:23,129 --> 00:06:26,129
That was the director's work here.
48
00:06:27,012 --> 00:06:30,579
To show things that happened
over ten years with six months of filming
49
00:06:30,580 --> 00:06:33,847
and solving the problems that occured.
50
00:06:33,847 --> 00:06:39,280
So, that was quite a challenge.
51
00:06:39,534 --> 00:06:44,034
Li Qing
52
00:06:46,012 --> 00:06:49,812
I liked the "Crystal Boys" novel very much.
53
00:06:49,812 --> 00:06:52,679
I found it very pleasant to read.
54
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:03,629
So, when we produced it I looked
forward to seeing the final result.
55
00:07:04,534 --> 00:07:06,890
And I'm curious to
see if the TV Series
56
00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:13,162
still reflects the novel after
the editing of the 20 episodes.
57
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,433
What's your father's name
and where's your home?
58
00:07:17,358 --> 00:07:19,162
I don't live at home.
59
00:07:20,549 --> 00:07:22,082
You escaped from home, right?
60
00:07:22,082 --> 00:07:29,696
Among the four guys,
he's the most introverted.
61
00:07:36,270 --> 00:07:38,869
Many things happened to him,
62
00:07:38,888 --> 00:07:44,080
but he has to follow his friends, so
he lives with their problems also.
63
00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:53,496
He had rough moments at times.
64
00:07:54,530 --> 00:07:56,596
Don't be afraid, mom.
I'm here.
65
00:08:00,344 --> 00:08:04,898
Those little devils... So young and
already peeking at naked women.
66
00:08:04,899 --> 00:08:06,444
Don't let me catch you again!
67
00:08:06,450 --> 00:08:08,016
Go away!
68
00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:13,030
Cut!
Xiao Wei!
69
00:08:13,188 --> 00:08:22,721
At first I didn't know
how to play the role.
70
00:08:26,686 --> 00:08:35,739
I thought I just needed to change the
one I liked to a boy instead of a girl.
71
00:08:35,739 --> 00:08:43,803
But after I met real gay
people and personified one,
72
00:08:43,803 --> 00:08:51,329
I found that was not
an easy task to do.
73
00:08:55,592 --> 00:08:59,729
Sorry...
Sorry, I forgot one.
74
00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:01,029
I remember now.
75
00:09:01,234 --> 00:09:08,583
The scene with Zhaoying in the lab.
76
00:09:15,664 --> 00:09:20,229
There are also two other hard scenes.
77
00:09:20,229 --> 00:09:24,787
The scene when Buddy died in the hospital,
78
00:09:24,787 --> 00:09:26,507
when I held his body in my arms
79
00:09:26,507 --> 00:09:28,405
and didn't let them take him away.
80
00:09:30,701 --> 00:09:33,515
Don't take him way! Get away!
81
00:09:33,515 --> 00:09:37,038
- Buddy!
- Calm down!
82
00:09:37,551 --> 00:09:39,348
Get away!
83
00:09:40,073 --> 00:09:41,680
Calm down.
84
00:09:51,028 --> 00:09:59,849
In fact, just a few things
happened to Li Qing.
85
00:10:00,331 --> 00:10:14,162
But these trials of life were more intense
than the others characters' were.
86
00:10:16,698 --> 00:10:18,580
He was deeply affected.
87
00:10:22,189 --> 00:10:24,149
I feared the scene when I cried.
88
00:10:30,002 --> 00:10:34,121
I was afraid of looking
like I was acting when I cried.
89
00:10:36,663 --> 00:10:38,445
So, I was afraid of this scene.
90
00:10:38,445 --> 00:10:45,554
But in "Crystal Boys" I had
a lot of crying scenes,
91
00:10:46,143 --> 00:10:48,449
some, where I had to be agitated,
92
00:10:48,449 --> 00:10:50,417
sad
93
00:10:50,417 --> 00:10:53,398
or angry.
94
00:10:53,501 --> 00:10:55,423
I had to cry in each one.
95
00:10:55,457 --> 00:10:57,834
For me it was something
that was very difficult.
96
00:10:58,382 --> 00:11:03,613
Wu Min
97
00:11:04,253 --> 00:11:07,196
The characted I play is called Wu Min.
98
00:11:10,028 --> 00:11:13,737
The first thing I heard was
that my role's name was Wu Min.
99
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:20,244
Then I read the novel... and...
100
00:11:20,244 --> 00:11:22,686
Jinqin helped us to
look for some info
101
00:11:22,686 --> 00:11:26,131
to analyse Wu Min's character and
know what kind of role it was.
102
00:11:26,131 --> 00:11:29,674
I wondered if he might look
like Pisces in mythology.
103
00:11:29,674 --> 00:11:33,962
Right at the beginning,I tried to
understand his character that way.
104
00:11:33,962 --> 00:11:36,129
Then, later
105
00:11:38,179 --> 00:11:40,612
after I read the novel
106
00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:43,513
I thought that he was maybe...
107
00:11:43,604 --> 00:11:46,362
I thought every person in this group
108
00:11:46,396 --> 00:11:50,393
had the same kind of mood:
they were all depressed.
109
00:11:50,393 --> 00:11:58,732
Wu min is not only depressed,
but also a peaceful man.
110
00:11:58,732 --> 00:12:03,947
We can also say that he's a coward.
111
00:12:03,947 --> 00:12:06,062
But, in some aspects he's also brave.
112
00:12:06,696 --> 00:12:10,609
He pursues what he likes, his love.
113
00:12:10,609 --> 00:12:15,071
When he has what he wants,
he can be very brave.
114
00:12:15,071 --> 00:12:18,922
But he can look stupid.
115
00:12:23,684 --> 00:12:27,215
- Did I ask you to do this?
- No
116
00:12:27,215 --> 00:12:29,368
So, why did you do this
without my authorization ?
117
00:12:29,368 --> 00:12:32,120
Don't do this anymore, got it?
118
00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:35,274
I thought that all of that
was like a transformation.
119
00:12:35,274 --> 00:12:41,029
In an instant, making a guy, a girl.
120
00:12:41,029 --> 00:12:43,296
Like telling yourself :
121
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:47,096
"He is a girl. He is a girl.
He is a girl. I will it. "
122
00:12:47,096 --> 00:12:48,951
But this method was stupid.
123
00:12:48,951 --> 00:12:50,611
I thought in my mind that
124
00:12:50,611 --> 00:12:54,194
maybe when we are walking
125
00:12:54,194 --> 00:12:59,413
I'll tell myself: "I really love him.
I really love him."
126
00:12:59,413 --> 00:13:00,620
Just like that.
127
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:02,486
Always telling myself :
"I love him".
128
00:13:02,936 --> 00:13:04,852
I think that it's useful.
129
00:13:15,769 --> 00:13:21,924
Actually, Mr. Shen... taught me a lot.
130
00:13:21,924 --> 00:13:26,038
He didn't correct me a lot.
131
00:13:26,038 --> 00:13:30,802
He just told me things like
"Maybe in this part...
132
00:13:30,802 --> 00:13:32,123
you should do this
133
00:13:32,123 --> 00:13:35,551
or place your body like that.
134
00:13:35,551 --> 00:13:42,489
Then people can feel your character
more and relate to it."
135
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:44,764
That's what Mr. Shen taught me.
136
00:13:44,764 --> 00:13:50,969
For a new actor like me, it
was a great opportunity.
137
00:13:51,189 --> 00:13:55,769
Little Jade
138
00:13:57,379 --> 00:13:59,923
My character is called
Little Jade. Little Jade Wang.
139
00:13:59,962 --> 00:14:03,261
His traits are...
140
00:14:03,929 --> 00:14:07,373
because Mr. Pai Hsien-yung told me
141
00:14:07,373 --> 00:14:10,590
His constellation sign is Aquarius.
142
00:14:10,590 --> 00:14:14,150
So I tried to understand
what an Aquarius looked like.
143
00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:20,680
The Aquarius is very direct
144
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,850
and likes freedom.
145
00:14:29,079 --> 00:14:33,420
He looks pretty well dressed
146
00:14:33,421 --> 00:14:36,500
but, in fact, he's a very poor boy.
147
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:43,346
I had to understand what kind of
life experiences he had had.
148
00:14:43,346 --> 00:14:49,812
He wants to give others a
good impression of himself.
149
00:14:49,812 --> 00:14:56,246
He's someone with a lot of hope.
He's positive toward life.
150
00:14:56,246 --> 00:14:59,445
He never thinks he won't find his father.
151
00:15:00,429 --> 00:15:03,500
He thought he could live
a good life one day.
152
00:15:03,838 --> 00:15:05,308
Lin san thinks highly of me.
153
00:15:05,312 --> 00:15:07,412
I have to work hard.
154
00:15:08,579 --> 00:15:10,879
After working well in Seijo
155
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:14,179
when there is an opportunity
in Tokyo maybe Lin san...
156
00:15:14,179 --> 00:15:16,906
- ...Help you to go to Japan?
- Right!
157
00:15:16,906 --> 00:15:21,900
I'm not really like that.
But I had to adapt.
158
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:29,512
In every scene I wondered how to
stay in the role and be relaxed,
159
00:15:29,512 --> 00:15:32,746
so I could make others think I was
the best actor for this role.
160
00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:45,332
At the beginning I was
very nervous in every scene.
161
00:15:45,332 --> 00:15:47,266
Then our director told me:
162
00:15:48,612 --> 00:15:51,512
"Jin Qin, you should be confident
about your performance."
163
00:15:51,546 --> 00:15:55,446
And this stayed in my mind
all during the filming.
164
00:15:55,446 --> 00:16:02,246
A lot of people said
I looked like Little Jade,
165
00:16:02,246 --> 00:16:07,979
but I think that it's not
easy to touch people deeply.
166
00:16:18,512 --> 00:16:21,662
I remember Lin san and me.
167
00:16:23,616 --> 00:16:26,279
I was profoundly moved in
the two scenes I had with him.
168
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:28,213
I really liked what our
director had done...
169
00:16:28,246 --> 00:16:30,646
He arranged it to make our
characters meet by chance.
170
00:16:30,646 --> 00:16:36,079
When they met, Little Jade found out that
his name was not the same as his father's.
171
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:37,977
But he was still curious about him.
172
00:16:37,979 --> 00:16:41,746
Like, when they were in the elevator and
Little Jade looked at him carefully.
173
00:16:41,746 --> 00:16:46,879
Our director decided that Lin san
would have to go back to Japan.
174
00:16:46,912 --> 00:16:49,079
Little Jade had to see him off.
175
00:16:49,079 --> 00:16:52,177
They were in the elevator again and
Little Jade carried Lin san's luggage.
176
00:16:52,179 --> 00:16:55,412
He was very sad, and then he started to cry
177
00:16:55,412 --> 00:17:00,005
because after getting out of the elevator,
he would have to say goodbye.
178
00:17:00,007 --> 00:17:05,179
I liked these two scenes very much.
179
00:17:05,179 --> 00:17:07,712
The first one is the
happiness of the encounter.
180
00:17:07,712 --> 00:17:11,079
The second, the sadness of saying goodbye.
181
00:17:13,312 --> 00:17:17,679
Then the scene with Linyin,
who personified my mom.
182
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:22,279
I was telling her that
I was going to Japan very soon.
183
00:17:24,612 --> 00:17:32,879
In that scene, Little Jade thought that his
mom would be fine after talking to her.
184
00:17:32,879 --> 00:17:40,113
It was exactly like talking to my mom. "You'll
be fine, etc." That kind of touching scene.
185
00:17:48,379 --> 00:17:52,512
I think that I was able to
express that feeling.
186
00:17:52,512 --> 00:17:57,212
But I didn't succeed alone. It's
also due to the other actor.
187
00:17:57,212 --> 00:17:59,184
I felt very good.
188
00:17:59,184 --> 00:18:03,246
I don't know what other people think
of Little Jade in this TV series.
189
00:18:11,479 --> 00:18:15,046
Maybe everyone has a strong
impression of oneself,
190
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,479
but I think I created my own Little Jade.
191
00:18:18,929 --> 00:18:24,129
Mousey
192
00:18:24,854 --> 00:18:30,246
After I read the novel, I found out why
they asked me to play the role of Mousey.
193
00:18:30,246 --> 00:18:32,412
Because Mousey is like me,
194
00:18:32,412 --> 00:18:34,512
laughing and joking
195
00:18:34,546 --> 00:18:37,146
and sometimes clueless.
196
00:18:37,179 --> 00:18:40,379
I don't think before talking, etc.
197
00:18:41,846 --> 00:18:42,946
What's your name?
198
00:18:42,946 --> 00:18:43,946
Mousey
199
00:18:44,679 --> 00:18:48,046
And I'm a cockroach! I'm asking
you the name on your ID card!
200
00:18:50,820 --> 00:18:52,020
Lai A-tu [Lai the Hick]
201
00:18:53,779 --> 00:18:54,912
Lai A-tu [Lai the Hick]
202
00:18:55,646 --> 00:18:56,879
Lai A-tu [Lai the Hick]
203
00:18:58,546 --> 00:18:59,646
Your real name is Lai A-tu!
204
00:19:01,146 --> 00:19:03,779
Go and buy what I tell you. Hurry up!
205
00:19:13,512 --> 00:19:14,446
What are you doing ?
206
00:19:14,446 --> 00:19:15,846
You'll be fine.
207
00:19:15,846 --> 00:19:17,313
No!
208
00:19:19,201 --> 00:19:20,351
Cut !
209
00:19:21,295 --> 00:19:22,653
It burns...
210
00:19:22,679 --> 00:19:23,546
Did you get burned ?
211
00:19:28,446 --> 00:19:33,737
At the beginning, it didn't look like this
but when they said "cut", it started to...
212
00:19:33,737 --> 00:19:35,104
to burn?
213
00:19:35,946 --> 00:19:40,679
The biggest difficulty I had was that
our director asked me to speak Taiwanese,
214
00:19:41,112 --> 00:19:43,546
and I speak Taiwanese really poorly.
215
00:19:50,846 --> 00:19:54,146
After reading the script,
216
00:19:54,146 --> 00:20:01,712
I first asked our director if I
could speak mandarin instead.
217
00:20:01,712 --> 00:20:04,746
Our director said no because my
character had Taiwanese blood.
218
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:07,212
So I had to speak entirely in
Taiwanese with my brother.
219
00:20:08,096 --> 00:20:11,246
Because I needed to speak Taiwanese
I was going to review Taiwanese.
220
00:20:11,246 --> 00:20:14,379
Then I asked the assistant director
to practice with me.
221
00:20:14,412 --> 00:20:16,546
I kept reading, reading a lot Taiwanese.
222
00:20:16,579 --> 00:20:18,579
It was so painful.
223
00:20:19,379 --> 00:20:21,812
I'm not a person who can speak Taiwanese.
224
00:20:33,146 --> 00:20:35,012
My favorite part is
the one with my family
225
00:20:35,012 --> 00:20:39,312
because I fought with my older brother.
226
00:20:39,346 --> 00:20:42,279
We had to fight and cry.
227
00:20:42,312 --> 00:20:47,612
During those days,
as long as my older brother was there
228
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:50,512
I had to be injured because
I had to be beaten by him.
229
00:20:55,268 --> 00:21:00,946
I was beaten, and I also had to cry really
miserably, with tears and my nose running.
230
00:21:00,946 --> 00:21:03,912
My whole body was bruised
after that.
231
00:21:05,696 --> 00:21:07,762
I'm deeply touched when
I remember those days.
232
00:21:14,428 --> 00:21:19,778
Zhao Ying
233
00:21:20,046 --> 00:21:22,361
I played the role of Zhao Ying.
234
00:21:22,361 --> 00:21:25,879
I only appeared in the first two chapters.
235
00:21:27,491 --> 00:21:37,346
A-qing and I were good friends
and good classmates.
236
00:21:37,379 --> 00:21:39,112
Then...
237
00:21:39,146 --> 00:21:44,946
After Buddy's death,
238
00:21:44,946 --> 00:21:47,379
I tried to comfort A-qing.
239
00:21:47,379 --> 00:21:53,046
Maybe from the beginning, A-qing
had a special feeling toward me.
240
00:21:53,046 --> 00:21:55,579
I didn't know myself.
241
00:21:55,579 --> 00:21:57,779
I didn't know what
kind of person I was.
242
00:22:00,246 --> 00:22:02,046
- They're from Beiyi!
- What?
243
00:22:02,501 --> 00:22:04,401
Do you find them cute or not?
244
00:22:05,546 --> 00:22:07,346
Not as beautiful as your mother.
245
00:22:07,379 --> 00:22:08,979
Be serious a bit, OK?
246
00:22:09,012 --> 00:22:15,946
Then one time when I was, maybe, a
little bit passive, he hugged me.
247
00:22:15,979 --> 00:22:20,746
I found it OK because
he was my good friend.
248
00:22:20,746 --> 00:22:26,279
When we were discovered kissing
each other, I even hated him.
249
00:22:26,301 --> 00:22:28,782
Even... hum... how do you say it?
250
00:22:28,782 --> 00:22:33,679
I even went far away from him.
251
00:22:35,979 --> 00:22:38,179
What had just happened was
not done on purpose.
252
00:22:38,179 --> 00:22:46,146
During our performance, our director
gave us relatively a lot of freedom.
253
00:22:46,146 --> 00:22:51,012
Besides some words we just
needed to follow the script.
254
00:22:51,046 --> 00:22:56,479
In fact, there were a lot of moments
when our director asked our opinion,
255
00:22:56,479 --> 00:22:58,579
like how A-qing and I should
look in different scenes.
256
00:22:58,579 --> 00:23:00,912
He told us the feelings
he wanted us to express
257
00:23:01,246 --> 00:23:04,379
and how A-qing and I should
perform the sparks between us.
258
00:23:05,412 --> 00:23:07,479
I liked this way very much.
259
00:23:09,646 --> 00:23:14,046
- Cool!
- Naw...
260
00:23:14,912 --> 00:23:19,979
Last year, the cooperative, where my father
works, gave this to him at a year-end dinner.
261
00:23:20,479 --> 00:23:23,046
I'll look handsome playing
basketball with this shirt.
262
00:23:28,612 --> 00:23:29,846
What're you doing?
263
00:23:29,846 --> 00:23:30,579
Blocking you!
264
00:23:30,612 --> 00:23:31,912
You want to block me?
265
00:23:31,946 --> 00:23:32,512
Gimme the ball.
266
00:23:33,646 --> 00:23:35,746
I'm blocking you!
267
00:23:44,946 --> 00:23:48,812
I think that Fan Chi-wei
is a very good actor.
268
00:23:49,979 --> 00:23:55,646
His pace is a little slow.
269
00:23:55,679 --> 00:24:03,353
I gradually followed his pace.
270
00:24:04,703 --> 00:24:09,953
Production Designer
271
00:24:10,379 --> 00:24:16,646
There are many scenes in this miniseries,
about 70 to 80.
272
00:24:16,646 --> 00:24:18,912
I think the color of this show
273
00:24:18,946 --> 00:24:25,012
I tried to take out some colors,
tried to make them dull.
274
00:24:26,612 --> 00:24:33,246
Too many colors wouldn't have expressed
this period of time or this atmosphere.
275
00:24:33,246 --> 00:24:35,012
He found many places in ruins.
276
00:24:35,012 --> 00:24:40,212
They were wastelands. We had to clean
them up and take away a lot of garbage.
277
00:24:40,246 --> 00:24:45,346
But nobody restricted us. We could
do anything we wanted to do.
278
00:24:45,346 --> 00:24:51,679
There was plenty of time for me.
I didn't have much pressure.
279
00:24:51,712 --> 00:24:58,379
It was great to have all this time.
280
00:24:58,412 --> 00:25:01,879
The first time we went to see the theater
with the director and the producer
281
00:25:01,879 --> 00:25:06,946
I was frightened that this theater
was not like a 70's theater.
282
00:25:10,312 --> 00:25:16,446
In fact, it was decorated around the 70's.
283
00:25:16,479 --> 00:25:21,966
We had no idea what was inside those walls.
284
00:25:23,613 --> 00:25:32,512
After we took all the plywood away,
the original form appeared.
285
00:25:34,712 --> 00:25:40,446
At that time, all the neighbours told me
286
00:25:40,446 --> 00:25:45,046
the theater looked the same
as during their youth.
287
00:25:45,046 --> 00:25:49,612
That made me very happy.
288
00:25:50,346 --> 00:25:56,112
It's Moon Beauty's house because she lives
on the fifth floor with no elevator.
289
00:25:56,112 --> 00:25:58,779
And the first time we went to see
the place, we were all frightened.
290
00:25:58,779 --> 00:26:01,712
The house was full of stuff.
291
00:26:02,212 --> 00:26:05,979
The place was unoccupied for five years.
292
00:26:05,979 --> 00:26:07,579
It was dirty and a complete mess.
293
00:26:08,212 --> 00:26:12,279
When I saw that, I had a headache.
294
00:26:13,712 --> 00:26:16,179
It was too dirty. There were too
many things in the room.
295
00:26:16,179 --> 00:26:24,346
We had to clean that up first then we
were able to put our things there.
296
00:26:41,697 --> 00:26:43,236
Which floor?
297
00:26:44,512 --> 00:26:45,979
Just the third floor.
298
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:58,646
I found a casual laborer.
299
00:26:58,646 --> 00:27:03,712
The two of us spread earth all
over the street. It was just mud.
300
00:27:04,879 --> 00:27:06,912
First we put down the
earth, then we watered it.
301
00:27:18,412 --> 00:27:22,579
Before watering, we had to
enclose the other two paths,
302
00:27:22,579 --> 00:27:25,446
otherwise, the water would have
flown away and the earth too.
303
00:27:26,412 --> 00:27:30,346
Before spreading the earth,
we first had to put rubber tape down,
304
00:27:30,346 --> 00:27:32,812
so the water wouldn't flow away.
305
00:27:32,812 --> 00:27:34,312
The whole street was like that.
306
00:27:34,812 --> 00:27:36,479
We both worked hard.
307
00:27:36,479 --> 00:27:38,512
It took several days.
308
00:27:39,112 --> 00:27:43,012
When we saw see the result
during the production...
309
00:27:43,012 --> 00:27:47,012
The feeling we had...
We forgot the hardship.
310
00:27:47,037 --> 00:27:52,440
Dragon Prince
311
00:27:53,212 --> 00:28:00,446
At the beginning, my character didn't know
he was gay, then afterwards he realized.
312
00:28:00,446 --> 00:28:03,646
A-feng is played by Umin Boya.
313
00:28:03,646 --> 00:28:05,779
He found out his true
nature late in the story.
314
00:28:16,846 --> 00:28:24,612
I think he's a man who lives
in a society with old rules.
315
00:28:24,646 --> 00:28:35,546
This makes me think about that
Zhang Yimou's movie called "Ju dou".
316
00:28:37,146 --> 00:28:42,179
You can see the dyehouse.
317
00:28:42,179 --> 00:28:49,212
The whole dyehouse is dusty grey, while
the dyed clothes are bright red.
318
00:28:49,212 --> 00:28:53,845
I don't know if you can
understand me here, but
319
00:28:53,845 --> 00:28:56,479
I think he's, in fact,
320
00:28:56,479 --> 00:29:08,679
a very talented guy, enjoying
life more than anyone else would.
321
00:29:08,679 --> 00:29:16,979
I think he was just
born at the wrong time.
322
00:29:16,979 --> 00:29:23,846
If he was born today he would
have been much happier.
323
00:29:28,046 --> 00:29:30,246
Cut! Is there any facial tissue ?
324
00:29:40,046 --> 00:29:44,046
I think that it's hard to play
the role of Dragon Prince.
325
00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:46,446
He's in a deep depression.
326
00:29:46,479 --> 00:29:56,079
Director Cao didn't want an actor
who exaggerated his performance.
327
00:29:56,133 --> 00:29:58,146
Cut! Sorry, there was an airplane...
328
00:29:59,012 --> 00:30:00,979
God, I'll be blind soon.
329
00:30:00,979 --> 00:30:05,246
One of the most moving
scenes my character plays is
330
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:08,112
when his father said:
331
00:30:08,112 --> 00:30:13,312
It's forbidden to come back
as long as I am still alive!
332
00:30:17,438 --> 00:30:18,971
Listen to me!
333
00:30:21,379 --> 00:30:26,111
It's forbidden to come back
as long as I am still alive!
334
00:30:27,860 --> 00:30:31,994
At the time, I was in front of my father.
335
00:30:31,994 --> 00:30:35,346
I turned around to get out, and
my father shouted for me to stop.
336
00:30:35,346 --> 00:30:36,812
He told me that.
337
00:30:36,812 --> 00:30:38,579
After he said this
338
00:30:38,579 --> 00:30:44,612
I couldn't cry out loud but my
tears needed to keep coming.
339
00:30:44,612 --> 00:30:53,112
I knew from experience that this part
would be very difficult to do.
340
00:30:53,112 --> 00:30:56,312
But the atmosphere was good.
341
00:30:56,312 --> 00:30:59,479
The feeling, working with the
director was good, very good.
342
00:30:59,479 --> 00:31:00,946
So we did it.
343
00:31:01,346 --> 00:31:03,779
I think I have to cry in every scene.
344
00:31:04,979 --> 00:31:06,446
Can I be funny a little?
345
00:31:07,772 --> 00:31:12,772
A-feng
346
00:31:13,212 --> 00:31:16,979
A-feng is...
347
00:31:18,038 --> 00:31:19,838
The place where he has grown up...
348
00:31:19,838 --> 00:31:24,253
He's a strange guy.
349
00:31:24,253 --> 00:31:27,326
He lived in such an unusual situation that
350
00:31:27,326 --> 00:31:31,194
his character was formed by that.
351
00:31:31,194 --> 00:31:38,579
He got used to wearing a mask
to face the world.
352
00:31:38,612 --> 00:31:43,113
He doesn't show his real heart
when he's with other people.
353
00:31:43,113 --> 00:31:50,346
He always wears a mask, but
this mask is the most original.
354
00:31:50,346 --> 00:31:51,979
He uses violence.
355
00:31:52,212 --> 00:31:55,712
I think he uses violence to
fight against the world.
356
00:31:57,212 --> 00:31:59,712
He can't trust other people easily.
357
00:31:59,746 --> 00:32:05,346
This is, I think, his
most obvious character.
358
00:32:06,046 --> 00:32:08,112
A-feng can't trust
other people easily.
359
00:32:08,546 --> 00:32:13,908
I think he was born like this.
360
00:32:14,412 --> 00:32:17,246
Go and ask people. They'll tell
you what kind of person I am.
361
00:32:20,046 --> 00:32:22,346
I was born despicable.
362
00:32:22,346 --> 00:32:27,712
When I started playing this role,
I had spent a lot of time
363
00:32:27,712 --> 00:32:29,679
trying to figure out the role.
364
00:32:30,179 --> 00:32:33,746
I've spent a lot of time trying
to be someone else.
365
00:32:33,746 --> 00:32:37,179
I didn't know I was becoming
A-feng in real life.
366
00:32:37,212 --> 00:32:43,746
I tried my best
to do something I seldom do,
367
00:32:43,746 --> 00:32:47,179
the most obvious was the
expression in my eyes.
368
00:32:49,246 --> 00:32:56,846
After playing in this show, some
of my friends thought I had changed,
369
00:32:56,846 --> 00:32:58,746
especially the expression in my eyes.
370
00:32:59,146 --> 00:33:08,612
They said they were not as open and bright
as before, and I had become very quiet.
371
00:33:10,879 --> 00:33:14,164
There is a tattoo on
A-feng's chest : a phoenix.
372
00:33:14,164 --> 00:33:19,912
They had to repaint it every three days.
373
00:33:19,912 --> 00:33:25,015
Then, whenever I saw this phoenix
I thought : "Hey! A-feng is back!"
374
00:33:26,546 --> 00:33:35,179
I had to have long hair
375
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:38,846
and have my chest out,
obstinate and unruly.
376
00:33:40,879 --> 00:33:43,512
The scene that I did and
that moved me the most
377
00:33:43,512 --> 00:33:45,812
was when I was stabbed by Dragon Prince.
378
00:33:46,679 --> 00:33:50,579
First, it was very cold
and it was raining.
379
00:33:52,146 --> 00:33:57,946
Secondly, I was in very bad shape
that day. I had a high fever.
380
00:34:00,129 --> 00:34:01,629
Thirdly,
381
00:34:05,012 --> 00:34:11,046
I have never acted where I died, before.
382
00:34:12,179 --> 00:34:15,212
It made a very deep impression on me.
383
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:51,097
Yang Jinhai
384
00:34:51,812 --> 00:34:54,346
He's a cheery sort of person.
385
00:34:54,379 --> 00:34:59,546
A bunch of young adults work for him.
He likes them a lot.
386
00:34:59,579 --> 00:35:03,146
Their hiding is in New Park.
387
00:35:03,179 --> 00:35:06,312
He has some friends among them.
388
00:35:06,312 --> 00:35:10,655
It's easy for him to
be a model for them.
389
00:35:12,032 --> 00:35:14,245
He knows the short history of each life.
390
00:35:14,462 --> 00:35:17,615
Master Yang!
Long time no see!
391
00:35:18,779 --> 00:35:25,301
Sir, long time no see!
I heard your wife was pregnant.
392
00:35:25,301 --> 00:35:28,279
Yes, thank you..
She already gave birth.
393
00:35:28,279 --> 00:35:30,847
It’s a boy. The mother
and baby are both well.
394
00:35:31,246 --> 00:35:32,746
Congratulations!
395
00:35:33,412 --> 00:35:38,079
But I suggest, Sir, that you do a good
check-up, to make sure she didn’t give birth
396
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:40,612
to a baby without an asshole
that wouldn't be able to shit.
397
00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:43,079
What are you laughing for?
Do you want to get beaten?
398
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:48,112
Master Yang. Your mouth, the
older you are the worse it is!
399
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:55,879
He gathered all the people he
has met since his youth.
400
00:35:55,879 --> 00:36:00,746
We follow those people that are
of the same ilk as Master Yang.
401
00:36:02,412 --> 00:36:08,412
They have all lost their families's love.
402
00:36:08,446 --> 00:36:12,046
These children have met Master
Yang because of that.
403
00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:16,146
For those, for example, who don't
go to places likes New Park,
404
00:36:16,146 --> 00:36:18,612
their school should have PE teachers,
405
00:36:18,612 --> 00:36:22,979
psychologists or discipline masters.
406
00:36:23,012 --> 00:36:26,512
I think they should have
such people
407
00:36:26,512 --> 00:36:29,046
who can lead those young people.
408
00:36:29,046 --> 00:36:34,038
Almost everyone has his
own master, teachers, coaches...
409
00:36:34,038 --> 00:36:35,546
or someone with another title.
410
00:36:35,579 --> 00:36:38,579
But in everyone's heart, there
are particularly one or two,
411
00:36:38,912 --> 00:36:41,046
and often older people's
responsibility, right?
412
00:36:41,046 --> 00:36:43,279
It's my opinion.
413
00:36:44,679 --> 00:36:46,679
Hey you, little fellow!
414
00:36:46,679 --> 00:36:48,712
You're trying to hide something from me!
415
00:36:48,712 --> 00:36:50,646
Am I still your Master ?
416
00:36:50,887 --> 00:36:52,708
Master, what are
you talking about?
417
00:36:52,979 --> 00:36:57,012
Don't do this with me! If Little
Jade had not told me,
418
00:36:57,046 --> 00:36:59,579
I don't know how long
you would continue to lie to me!
419
00:37:00,446 --> 00:37:05,246
Little Jade, what a big mouth he has!
420
00:37:06,664 --> 00:37:09,886
You... You made your debut not long ago
421
00:37:09,886 --> 00:37:12,050
but you don't lack courage.
422
00:37:12,050 --> 00:37:15,249
How can you get close to a
man like Dragon Prince?
423
00:37:15,879 --> 00:37:19,379
Wang Yu is a senior actor.
424
00:37:19,412 --> 00:37:22,646
He plays Papa Fu in this miniseries.
425
00:37:22,646 --> 00:37:24,446
I played with him.
426
00:37:24,479 --> 00:37:29,379
Papa Fu died at the end.
He was old.
427
00:37:29,379 --> 00:37:35,079
When I played with him, I had the greatest
respect for him and also for his role.
428
00:37:35,079 --> 00:37:38,608
This is a great role that Pai Hsien-yung,
the writer of the novel, has created.
429
00:37:38,608 --> 00:37:42,086
Papa Fu wants a shelter for
people in need.
430
00:37:42,086 --> 00:37:49,146
When Papa Fu was dying, my character
was moved by different feelings.
431
00:37:49,146 --> 00:37:52,546
That day, our senior actor
did very well.
432
00:37:52,546 --> 00:37:56,412
It was a dreadfully emotional scene.
433
00:37:56,412 --> 00:37:59,879
Such an old man...
434
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:07,379
After the filming, I was in a bad mood.
Almost still in my character.
435
00:38:07,979 --> 00:38:12,612
How many chances in a lifetime do you
have to perform in such a good show?
436
00:38:12,612 --> 00:38:18,479
If the opportunity comes, you proceed
without hesitation. You have too.
437
00:38:18,479 --> 00:38:22,079
You need not be absent.
I was always there.
438
00:38:22,112 --> 00:38:24,046
This is one of my happiest life events.
439
00:38:24,071 --> 00:38:29,071
Papa Fu
440
00:38:30,212 --> 00:38:32,679
He's a retired general.
441
00:38:32,712 --> 00:38:38,746
He tried his best to bring up his son.
442
00:38:38,746 --> 00:38:43,646
And this child had an ambitious
spirit in the military academy.
443
00:38:43,646 --> 00:38:45,546
When he graduated from
the military academy
444
00:38:45,546 --> 00:38:50,267
he was promoted to
platoon leader very quickly.
445
00:38:50,512 --> 00:38:53,646
This child was General Fu's hope.
446
00:38:54,058 --> 00:38:59,646
On the night of his father's
birthday he shot himself.
447
00:39:09,844 --> 00:39:15,712
When Papa Fu found A-feng and knew
he was raised at an orphanage,
448
00:39:15,712 --> 00:39:19,812
he went to Zhonghe orphanage.
449
00:39:19,812 --> 00:39:25,279
The children helped him to get through.
450
00:39:25,612 --> 00:39:30,236
He's also the protector of
New Park's children.
451
00:39:30,236 --> 00:39:32,803
LiQing's father was a soldier like him.
452
00:39:32,803 --> 00:39:38,079
I remember an extract from the
miniseries. I find it very beautiful.
453
00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:49,946
But do you think that he chose to follow
this route? He had inner conflict...
454
00:39:49,946 --> 00:39:53,779
He abandoned himself to debauchery!
He didn't study well!
455
00:39:53,812 --> 00:39:58,346
I took care of him with all my heart
and my soul for more than 10 years!
456
00:39:58,379 --> 00:40:06,225
I bred him! I put all my expectations
into him but he did this filthy thing!
457
00:40:06,479 --> 00:40:13,558
I remember what Papa Fu said at the end
that made the father very unhappy.
458
00:40:13,558 --> 00:40:23,746
I know what you feel, but
if he's your own blood
459
00:40:23,746 --> 00:40:28,246
this act wouldn't be
excusable under the circumstances?
460
00:40:28,279 --> 00:40:30,212
General, please act in a dignified manner!
461
00:40:31,046 --> 00:40:40,679
We are both fathers with broken-hearts,
but my case is more hopeless than yours.
462
00:40:40,679 --> 00:40:45,212
After all, your son is still alive...
463
00:40:46,246 --> 00:40:49,446
But I beg you to try
to understand him.
464
00:40:49,446 --> 00:40:59,279
If you think that your life, having loyalty and
devotion for your country made you lonely...
465
00:41:00,246 --> 00:41:05,746
What you need is to
respect your A-qing.
466
00:41:05,746 --> 00:41:09,846
Why did you let him become
an unforgiven crystal boy?
467
00:41:10,212 --> 00:41:13,979
So,this is why he has this special
feeling toward A-qing.
468
00:41:13,979 --> 00:41:19,479
Whatever words he uses,
in his heart...
469
00:41:19,479 --> 00:41:22,546
I find this other excerpt
also very moving :
470
00:41:25,512 --> 00:41:30,412
Go see him.
471
00:41:33,046 --> 00:41:43,946
This is Papa Fu's wish, my
last wish in this life.
472
00:41:44,412 --> 00:41:53,679
Such dialogue also shows
Papa Fu's personality.
473
00:41:54,179 --> 00:42:01,412
Let's go, Mr. Wang!
Mr. Wang!
474
00:42:01,412 --> 00:42:03,479
Uncle Wang, you'll succeed!
475
00:42:03,512 --> 00:42:05,146
We're all waiting to drink!
476
00:42:06,846 --> 00:42:08,434
Great!
477
00:42:08,439 --> 00:42:13,639
Wardrobe Mistress
478
00:42:14,212 --> 00:42:21,906
Our goal was to show a part of the
social phenomenon of that time.
479
00:42:21,906 --> 00:42:25,217
So, the director wanted it so
everything looked good
480
00:42:25,217 --> 00:42:32,212
and not only for the four main characters.
481
00:42:32,246 --> 00:42:34,079
He wanted everything to be perfect.
482
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:37,646
So, for the clothes,
we not only used
483
00:42:37,646 --> 00:42:45,146
the clothing of the time, but we also put
in some basic costume elements.
484
00:42:45,146 --> 00:42:51,779
At the beginning, I had some
difficulty with Aqing's clothes
485
00:42:52,112 --> 00:42:59,712
because he's different than the other boys.
486
00:42:59,712 --> 00:43:02,479
So, I had to discuss this
with our director.
487
00:43:02,512 --> 00:43:07,474
To distinguish him from the others, we had
to have some symbolic things on him.
488
00:43:07,474 --> 00:43:17,512
He wears a plaid shirt to
show his true nature.
489
00:43:17,879 --> 00:43:19,912
Wu Min, in fact...
490
00:43:19,946 --> 00:43:25,560
Wu Min is a little weak, I think.
491
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:31,431
Joseph Chang is tall and strong
and his eyes are very gentle.
492
00:43:31,431 --> 00:43:36,279
So, for his clothes, we put something
493
00:43:36,279 --> 00:43:44,146
that fits his body without
forgetting Wu Min's role.
494
00:43:44,179 --> 00:43:45,643
About Little Jade...
495
00:43:45,646 --> 00:43:48,579
From the very beginning,
496
00:43:48,579 --> 00:43:52,212
the director, the director assistant and I
all agreed that
497
00:43:52,212 --> 00:43:56,646
Little Jade's role was the easiest one
to grasp, especially regarding his clothes.
498
00:43:56,646 --> 00:44:03,346
King Chin's traits match
Little Jade's role very well.
499
00:44:03,346 --> 00:44:08,679
So his clothes were the easiest to make.
500
00:44:09,012 --> 00:44:20,346
Mousey isn't at the same level as
the others. So for his clothes...
501
00:44:20,346 --> 00:44:33,579
Even to modern people's eyes, his
clothes are a little low-class.
502
00:44:33,612 --> 00:44:38,079
I often told him: "You're very poor so you have
to wear the ugliest and sloppiest clothes."
503
00:44:38,146 --> 00:44:42,779
A-feng, now he has a different
temperament and personality.
504
00:44:42,812 --> 00:44:46,712
The red shirt was our director's idea.
505
00:44:46,746 --> 00:44:55,712
He wanted to show a
strong image for A-feng.
506
00:44:55,712 --> 00:45:00,346
So, in the show, A-feng wears his
red shirt alsmot 90% of the time.
507
00:45:00,346 --> 00:45:06,246
Afterwards, I found it a great idea.
I really admire him
508
00:45:06,246 --> 00:45:09,612
because he knew how
the roles should be done and
509
00:45:09,612 --> 00:45:11,873
what kind of feelings he
wanted the actors to express.
510
00:45:11,873 --> 00:45:16,873
Moviemaker
511
00:45:17,179 --> 00:45:21,712
Last year, around February or March,
512
00:45:23,212 --> 00:45:27,879
Ruiyuan Cao told me he wanted to produce
Pai Hsien-yung's novel "Crystal Boys".
513
00:45:28,679 --> 00:45:36,846
He said, "Go buy the novel and read it. Then
try to feel the scenes and be prepared."
514
00:45:37,979 --> 00:45:46,879
I stopped reading at page 70 and
put the book away.
515
00:45:46,912 --> 00:45:54,546
I thought it was impossible to
reproduce such a thing in Taipei.
516
00:45:57,116 --> 00:46:00,539
The story had too many scenes and all of
them needed to be completed in Taipei.
517
00:46:00,539 --> 00:46:04,775
Taipei was chosen for its big city
feeling, the feeling of that time.
518
00:46:06,033 --> 00:46:11,582
To produce such a play successfully
was for me, inconceivable.
519
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,250
In fact, one month before starting
this project I was still not sure
520
00:46:16,283 --> 00:46:19,583
if I wanted to be part of it or not.
521
00:46:19,583 --> 00:46:27,716
I was worried about having too many
problems during the production.
522
00:46:27,716 --> 00:46:31,883
but our director told me many
times that everything would be fine.
523
00:46:31,916 --> 00:46:33,916
so, I think I have been duped.
524
00:46:34,450 --> 00:46:38,450
I 've already worked with our
director for more than ten years.
525
00:46:38,483 --> 00:46:40,550
I really know what he wants.
526
00:46:40,550 --> 00:46:47,583
Usually people would think that Taipei,
this big city, has unemotional people.
527
00:46:47,583 --> 00:46:50,416
It's hard to give a landscape.
528
00:46:50,416 --> 00:46:57,746
But after that, I think that Taipei
people are not that unemotional.
529
00:46:57,746 --> 00:47:02,846
You just have to communicate to them
what you need.
530
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:09,613
You tell them clearly what you want
to have, what you want to produce...
531
00:47:09,613 --> 00:47:17,380
Then they see if this is
worth being produced.
532
00:47:17,413 --> 00:47:26,313
After filming, we helped
them to clean and tidy up.
533
00:47:26,313 --> 00:47:33,613
So... maybe it was because of the
Taipei people and their warm hearts...
534
00:47:34,246 --> 00:47:43,113
Every scene is special for us.
535
00:47:43,113 --> 00:47:47,380
Taiwan is so small. It was
not easy to film so many scenes.
536
00:47:47,380 --> 00:47:50,680
It was also hard because
537
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:55,246
if someone damaged something
during the production,
538
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,280
they wouldn't want to
lend us things anymore.
539
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:06,513
So, for every scene, we devoted a great
deal of attention to our equipment.
540
00:48:06,513 --> 00:48:13,713
The thing that moved me the most
during this filming was our team.
541
00:48:13,713 --> 00:48:17,446
Everyone was great.
542
00:48:17,446 --> 00:48:21,980
The team had a lot of young people.
543
00:48:21,980 --> 00:48:29,680
They may not have had a lot of experience,
but they were passionate about their work.
544
00:48:32,380 --> 00:48:38,113
Passion pushes people forward. They
had zeal and were very persistent.
545
00:48:38,113 --> 00:48:42,946
So, I think they pushed those
older teammates forward.
546
00:48:42,980 --> 00:48:48,046
Without those passionate young people
on our team we would have all given up.
547
00:48:48,046 --> 00:48:53,280
We wouldn't have been able
to film for six months.
548
00:48:54,999 --> 00:49:00,113
The actors
549
00:49:02,363 --> 00:49:10,913
About the actors, I think the greatest
thing I did in this TV Series was...
550
00:49:10,946 --> 00:49:18,480
to gather together great actors from Taiwan
into a single show. It's a dream come true.
551
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:25,280
This novel gave me a great deal
of latitude to realize this dream
552
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:33,022
of gathering many great actors from Taiwan,
working together to finish a production.
553
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:40,480
Sister.
You didn't stop a second to eat.
554
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,513
There's no sense if
we're not all together.
555
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,246
Don't worry, you guys go and eat first.
556
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,146
These buns are only good
if they're done right.
557
00:49:48,913 --> 00:49:50,513
Look! There's already a lot to eat!
558
00:49:50,513 --> 00:49:52,213
Naw...
559
00:50:04,946 --> 00:50:09,013
You're crazy and you'll
die soon anyway!
560
00:50:09,013 --> 00:50:11,146
A good slap in the face!
561
00:50:11,580 --> 00:50:13,746
I don't want people to know
I work in a pub.
562
00:50:14,180 --> 00:50:16,180
Little Jade is a transparent glass.
563
00:50:16,846 --> 00:50:20,437
A-qing... A-qing is a frosted glass.
564
00:50:20,437 --> 00:50:24,080
No matter how you look at its
transparence, it's all glass.
565
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,846
I made such a good sentence!
566
00:50:28,613 --> 00:50:35,280
This little sparrow was only 14 when he
came alone from Hualian to Taipei.
567
00:50:35,946 --> 00:50:42,546
This one... Lied and stole. He
did it all, even blackmailed.
568
00:50:42,546 --> 00:50:44,946
This picture here, he originally
wouldn't let me take.
569
00:50:44,946 --> 00:50:47,880
I had to negotiate with ice
cream, and he finally agreed.
570
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,880
You're willing to
learn by watching TV.
571
00:50:51,913 --> 00:50:55,613
Last time, the pork meatballs you
ate were made from a recipe on TV.
572
00:50:56,113 --> 00:50:58,113
Little Jade is very well-mannered.
573
00:50:58,146 --> 00:51:00,413
He's been my tour guide
for several days.
574
00:51:00,446 --> 00:51:06,046
He brought me to a lot of places.
I don't know Taipei anymore.
575
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:14,513
Even if thirty years have passed and our
dream from long ago has come to naught,
576
00:51:14,546 --> 00:51:21,946
I will never forget you,
Lin Maoxiong. Never!
577
00:51:22,213 --> 00:51:27,580
You smell good... Who did you fool around
with? The doctor or the patient next door?
578
00:51:27,580 --> 00:51:29,646
I'm baffled by your jealousy.
579
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,146
Jealous!
580
00:51:31,713 --> 00:51:34,480
Oy! Cold?
That hand is ice cold.
581
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,346
What are you doing?
582
00:51:36,780 --> 00:51:43,446
I've been raising you for more than 20
years and you want me to accept that now?
583
00:51:44,113 --> 00:51:47,780
You want me to... ah!
I bit my tongue.
584
00:51:47,780 --> 00:51:54,146
This is our fate. We have to accept it
585
00:51:54,146 --> 00:51:56,213
otherwise, how can you
live without doing so?
586
00:51:56,913 --> 00:52:03,413
I've never seen anybody crying in
despair as much as her before.
587
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:09,246
When would you like to have an
appointment with me at my film studio?
588
00:52:09,546 --> 00:52:12,146
Really ?
Lord Sheng...
589
00:52:12,146 --> 00:52:13,980
I knew you were very
fond of Little Jade.
590
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,713
Toward you guys and your kind of
"feelings", I really couldn't agree.
591
00:52:18,713 --> 00:52:34,780
I can't change myself, but I'm trying my
best to persuade myself to accept this.
592
00:52:35,346 --> 00:52:40,180
I hope you have a girl. Otherwise, the
mother's father will give you trouble!
593
00:52:40,513 --> 00:52:43,313
I'll beat you to death!
594
00:52:43,338 --> 00:52:46,051
That's enough!
595
00:52:46,146 --> 00:52:47,946
You really want to
beat him to death?!
596
00:52:47,980 --> 00:52:49,880
Look at the son you've raised!
597
00:52:50,146 --> 00:52:52,780
Papa Hu's heart pain.
598
00:52:52,780 --> 00:52:55,013
If this ailment acts up at midnight,
599
00:52:55,013 --> 00:52:58,446
the sweat on his forehead
will be as big as a soybean.
600
00:52:58,446 --> 00:53:02,080
I was on deck supervising sailors
who were loading some freight.
601
00:53:02,113 --> 00:53:05,013
Suddenly my feet slipped out from under
me, like someone had given me a shove.
602
00:53:05,013 --> 00:53:12,546
In fact, we always thought there
wasn't a good actor in Taiwan,
603
00:53:12,546 --> 00:53:18,680
but finally, there are
some that are very skilled.
604
00:53:18,713 --> 00:53:24,080
Now circumstances had it that this
play gathered all those talented people
605
00:53:24,113 --> 00:53:26,780
in a single show.
606
00:53:26,780 --> 00:53:42,913
And I believe that those who've read
the novel will have a big surprise.
607
00:53:42,913 --> 00:53:47,580
They'll find these actors like
they came straight out of the novel.
608
00:53:48,205 --> 00:53:53,305
Cha-cha
609
00:53:53,913 --> 00:53:58,046
If you don't know how to dance, don't worry.
As long as you want to learn, you'll get it.
610
00:53:58,046 --> 00:54:00,980
If you don't know how to dance, tell
us now. Somebody will teach you.
611
00:54:00,980 --> 00:54:05,444
But when we are filming, if you still
don't know, please go back home.
612
00:54:05,444 --> 00:54:09,087
So, grasp any chance to learn.
If you don't know, tell us right now.
613
00:54:09,087 --> 00:54:11,546
We'll teach you until you get it, OK?
614
00:55:05,446 --> 00:55:48,663
